What's the best way to cook filet mignon with just a stove? I was going to sear them and finish in the oven, but I just found out my oven isn't working.

I like them rare but medium rare is good enough too. They're 1.25 inches thick, btw.

Make steamed hams instead.

Sear, add butter, baste, then turn the heat to low and cook for 2 more minutes each side.

>> No.3991743

if you like them rare, just sear them, lower the heat and just cook a bit longer (if even necessary... rare does not take very long)

I have an electric stove so even if I turn down the heat to low, it's still going to remain at high heat for a while. Should I have another burner set to low and just switch it off when the time comes?

If people are telling you to set it to low why would you think keeping it on high heat was ok? You answered your own question

The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

It isn't funny. Neither is family guy. Having your own thoughts and opinions is hard, I know, but it is the only way you will ever be taken seriously by normals. I will only tell you this once.

This is a stupid image board, but I know your kind in real life. People are too polite to say anything but this is why you haven't gotten a raise since you started. Why you're sent off to do busy work when clients are expected to show up. It's why you don't get invited along when everyone else goes out for drinks after work. Why people aren't their real selves around you. Why they exchange only the barest pleasantries with you and get nervous when you come around during lunch room conversations.

You can act defensive all you want, but I seriously mean it when I say you need to cut that shit out. Take it or leave it bro, because no one will tell you this to your face.

Don't be a party pooper bro. 4chan is the place to be a socially awkward retard.

I'm not even mad at you 'cause 4chan is the place to call people out on stupid meaningless shit with your own opinions which like my own are stupid meaningless shit.

Let the shit fly, it's hilarious.

A good approach would be to start them on low heat for a few minutes per side, flipping frequently, then searing them on high when you are done.

Cooking them on high, then finishing on low still on the stove will pretty much ruin any crust you hope to get out of it.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?
